In Young's double slit experiment, the separation between two slits is \(0.3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\). When light beam is passed through the two slits, then interference pattern is observed on the screen 1.5 m away. If the first violet and red fringes are formed 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm away from the central white fringe, then the difference in wavelength of red and violet light is \(x \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\). The value of \(x\) is

(B) 300

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a Young's double slit experiment for interference pattern, the position of bright fringe is given by \(y_n=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}\) Here, \(\begin{aligned} & D=1.5 \mathrm{~m} \\ & d=0.3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}\) and \(n=1 ; \lambda=\frac{y_n d}{D}\) For first…
